Alfajores with different fillings
"Alfajores" are a very popular sweet in Argentina and Latin America. From the traditional alfajores filled with „dulce de leche“ to more exotic fruit-stuffed ones, there's something to tantalize every palate. The variety of "alfajores" is big but the regional alfajores are the best. They belong to a certain area of the country and they go with coffee, tea or the traditional "mate gourd" too.
On 11th and 12th May at the „Festival del Alfajor Regional“ there will be over twenty different brands offering their unique variations. It's a great opportunity to explore the rich diversity of this beloved treat. Expect to find these "alfajores" in the Plaza Arellano and you will be in for a treat and a half! Many of the stallers offer different kinds, so plenty of time is recommended. Local music bands will play their hits and the restaurants around the square will offer their authentic Argentinean cuisine. Come, if you have a sweet tooth, it s the perfect setting for a bit of weekend whimsy.
